The housing situation can absolutely be improved. But seriously: this is an improvement. Do you know how many $700 options there are in San Francisco? Try none. I paid $550 for a room in a flat last time I lived there - in 1998
Cities should utilize high density housing styles. Shared living is one of those. But I understand that people paying $700 a month for a house with a backyard and garage - in Missouri - will naturally look at this price tag and think it’s robbery. On the other hand, these tech workers are making $500k much of the time.
Yeah I laugh every time someone calls shit like this dystopian. I’m like ok so in one breath ppl like that claim this is hellish and in the next talk about how the only solution to housing shortages are housing density. Wtf do they think this is???
Furthermore this is nothing compared to living in hong Kong.
